What does it mean when...? [[UPDATE WITH GRAPHIC PICS!!]]

So I'm curious...if odds are pretty high that you'll end up with two dead embryos, why would you try again on purpose? I realize someone here has successfully hatched twins (tho I'm not sure if it was an accident or she set out to do so on purpose), but it sounds like odds of twins hatching successfully are quite low. Why bother when you can have healthy, happy non-twin chicks? Just asking the question, not passing judgment.

Just for experimental reasons. I can have as many non-twin chicks as I want an for a fact I have some non-twins in the incubator now.. but honestly what would it hurt to try for twin chicks? if they dont get thrown into the incubator, they'll get thrown on a frying pan. Atleast in the incubator that have somewhat of a chance. they either make it and gave a good life with me or they dont an they end up where they would have been to begin with if they would have been put in a frying pan!

Well, good luck to you then!

We already know that twin chicks are possible with assisted hatch and in shell deaths are going to happen with any incubation. Those embryos are absolutely amazing. As far as I can tell, it looks like they were both developing normally which is a good sign.

aren't they though?! That gives me hope that maybe next time might work! I think what might have happened is the smaller chick was a quitter (just like what might happen in a single embryo egg) and as that deceased twin started decomposing, the toxins might have killed the remaining twin.. They were almost perfect!!

OK tinytot, we shall revisit this adventure next time. Thanks for sharing.

I choose the double yolk for the frying pan. Chances are slim to none that they will hatch. You tried the experiment and it failed why keep trying.
Don't understand as with probably alot of others not wanting to say. I'm not trying to be mean just a realist. Good luck with your bator hatch

Whats the problem? honestly what is it hurting? the loss of an eating egg? thats about it.

I salute you for giving it a try and going for it again if you ever get another double yolk. It's very sad that it didn't work this time, but maybe next time! Good on ya!
